Benzac AC 5% Gel is a topical medication used for the treatment of acne (pimples) and mild bacterial skin infections. It contains Benzoyl Peroxide as its active ingredient, known for its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and comedolytic properties. The gel works by killing acne-causing bacteria, clearing blocked pores, and reducing redness and swelling. It also helps remove excess oil and dead skin cells that contribute to acne formation. This medicine is meant for external use only and should be applied exactly as prescribed by a dermatologist. It is suitable for individuals with mild to moderate acne and is often recommended as an initial treatment before shifting to stronger concentrations. With regular use, it helps achieve clearer, smoother, and healthier skin while preventing the recurrence of breakouts.

How Benzac AC 5% Gel works
Benzac AC 5% Gel works by releasing oxygen when applied to the skin. This oxygen destroys Propionibacterium acnes, the bacteria responsible for acne. By reducing bacterial growth, it helps prevent further infection and skin inflammation. The gel also gently removes dead skin cells that block hair follicles, allowing the pores to stay open and clean. Benzoyl Peroxide helps dry excess oil and reduces shine, creating an environment where acne cannot thrive. It increases the natural turnover of skin cells, leading to the gradual peeling of damaged layers and the renewal of healthy skin.
